ping?

yelloXCD · 03-06-2006, 08:52 PM

everyone has ping and it says i have 0 ping.what is it?

yelloXCD · 03-06-2006, 08:52 PM

and how do i get it?

Everyone's ping to themselves is 0. I think ping determines how long it takes to connect with the other computer, or something. That's the reason why you can see ping for other people, but yours is 0.

I think ping has two factors. Like Synthesis said it is the time it takes for the two players to connect (yours and other player's connection speed). That and the location of the other player also can determine ping. A person might be 150+ ping, but not necessarily have a bad connection with you. That is called a distance lag.

Indeed true. Ping is how long it takes to connect with someone. You have 0 ping because it takes no time to connect to yourself... Someone with high ping 'lags' and will likely be harder to hit. Ping that is around 90-150 is distance lag usually and is pretty unhelpable. Sometiems there'll be 200+ ping which can be related to to many programs that use much space at ocne or bad internet. Who knows though. Just remember to aim ahead of someone with 150+ ping. >.>

I see a lot of people with pings that are pretty high. Some even have 999 which is total lag. I've even experienced it before where sometimes everyone in the game is 999ping which I guess means that I'm lagging.

If everyone has 999 ping you have a connection issue... logging off and rejoining should solve it.

Thats not this guys problem he probably thought ping was some time of stat or something like strength, or rank, and i cracked up when i read... and how do i get it? HAHAH sorry but that was halarious.

its how long it takes in micro seconds for u to send a packet and recieve a response from the various comps. i work with packets everyday :S

did you wait?Maybe gunz lagged or something cause when ever i type in something it takes about a few minutes for it to pop up.

Ping (Source)
Basically, your computer sends out a signal across the internet to the other user's computer. If the computer recieves your signal, it sends another signal back, confirming that a connection has been established. The number you get for ping is actually the amount of time it takes for the signal to be sent/recieved by your computer. The number is in milliseconds.

100 ping = 1/10th a second

A typical equasion in calculating ping would be:
(your)Process Time + (to)Distance Time + (user)Process Time + (from)Distance time = Ping (ms)

No, you see it automatically, like if someone had a ping of 500 that means if they jump, then you wont see it until 500 micro seconds later. And thats related to lead shot, if you can find it in the garrison, that is a good thread to look at when your dealing with ping, well High ping.

basically wat i said above

ye they used pinging in the war but in a different way thats how it got its name submarines use to send signals underwater and if the signal bounced back they knew some object was ahead of them so basically pinging there location

oh i though he might be lagging so it might take a bit.
